    Sounds a little tough on him, you and the washing We're just starting to have sucess here with DS1 who will be 5 in Jan. Althought last night he was drenched at 10ish. I would say we are little more on the side of 3/4 of the time he wakes up dry.

    I really can't be of too much help but...

    i remember my nephew on his 7th birthday telling me proudly he is no longer wearing a night nappy and i'm not aware whether or not his mother had been concerned about that him still needing a nappy at that age

    but my cousin took her DS (just turned 7) to the Dr's earlier in the year as he was randomly wetting day and night. I can not remember the exact outcome of it but i think it had something to do with him knowing when his bladder was full. He did take some medication at some stage. I can try and find more out about it if you think it might help.

    Good luck hopefuly his time will come really soon

    MD, we took our bed wetter to a physio. It was $60 well spent.

    I feel for you....

    My ex step son (who lived with his dad and I) wet his bed still at 12. We did EVERYTHING, including medication. It was an absolute nightmare...most of all for him

    I don't know when it went away as he went to live with his mum and his dad and I separated. Sorry I don't have any answers but i wanted to offer my support.

    I really hope it sorts itself out x

    Apparently the chairs that they use for pelvic floor issues have have had great success with helping kids that are bed wetters. Google Pelvic Floor Chair.

    Other suggestions I have heard can help are chiropractors and physios - as Onyx suggested.
